    Well, “nome”, with a silent G is the correct pronunciation of “gnome”, as in e.g. “garden gnome”.

      From the UK I learned it as nome, but the gn is sounded like ng in ing endings rather than n like no. the difference is slight. n As in no is front of tongue on teeth and (g)ng is a back of the throat and nasal NG sound. When I hear people pronounce as two syllables guh-nome it sounds weird.
